In the Woods by Tana French

Tana French writes books which are quite hard to categorize – and aren’t they always the good ones? The early stories focus around the Dublin Murder Squad, so - crime novel you’d think. But they’re much more complex than that, kind of literary psychological mystery tales, exceptionally good on the mystery, very tightly written and quite compulsive. A good place to start is the first Dublin story, In the Woods, which won numerous awards for this actor turned writer. It tells the tale of Adam Ryan, a 12-year-old Irish boy, found in a state of shock in woods, sitting with his back to a tree, and his shoes full of blood. His two friends, with whom he was playing, are never found. Move forward 20 years and Adam has changed name and identity to give himself a new life and is now a detective in Dublin, drawn by the romance and coolness of the job and perhaps by his childhood experiences. He seems a remarkably well adjusted chap, good at intense friendship. Then he starts investigating a recent child murder in the same place as the original disappearances. Tana French is brilliant at describing how people cope with things which go deep, when maybe you start to doubt your understanding of the world. And she’s very good at teasing out connections. She’s just published her seventh book – the first to break away from the Dublin series – to excellent reviews. In the woods is a captivating place to start. But if you like her style, there’s plenty more where it came from.

The walk begins at the Creswell Crags Museum Car Park, where there is a nice café if you need refuelling before or after the walk. We head east past the Welbeck Estate across Gouldsmeadow Lake and into White Deer Park before bearing north.

So, the truth emerges about what happened to poor old George… To be fair I thought some of the man’s points were quite good… others not so much. Anyway, I’m off to pick up some Angel Delight…

Improving Quality of Life (Part 7) You may recall from last month that George, UCIP’s People’s Champion, had ‘gone underground’ amid rumours that he had suffered a sort of nervous breakdown. Well, we can now reveal that after a few sessions with a psychiatrist he has fully recovered and is looking forward to getting out and about again to meet people and hear more creative suggestions on how life may be improved for the masses. When asked what had driven him ‘over the edge’, he confessed that it was a chance encounter with a guy from Alfreton who had buttonholed him when he was in Tesco one day and who then spent over an hour explaining how the world would be a lot better place if we went back to doing things how we used to. As you’ll see from our summary of the points he made, it would be enough to make anyone temporarily bonkers. “When was the last time, George” he asked, “that you.................. •

George, saying that he had to get home because he’d got a man coming to see to his upstairs windows (NB – this despite him living in a bungalow, but he was so desperate, it was the first thing that came into his head!), made good his escape. This was bad enough but nothing compared to how his unsympathetic wife reacted to his explanation for not bringing back the groceries! Is it any wonder that he ‘cracked’?

Buds and flowers on fruit trees and bushes are very vulnerable to sudden unexpected spring frosts. A covering of fleece is often the answer if a cold patch is forecast, especially if you’re growing against a wall or fence. Use sticks or canes to keep the cover off the flowers and during the day open it up to allow pollination. When primroses have finished flowering lift and divide for more next year. And cut back forsythia to strong young shoots once it has gone over. This will also encourage next year’s blooms.

Lift and divide perennials now and pinch out the growing tips of young plants or cuttings such as sweet peas, pelargoniums and sweet peas to encourage bushy growth and more flowers in summer. Clematis and honeysuckle will start to bound away with the spring, so tie them in to stakes to stop wind damage.

TOP TIP!

Round about now lawns start to grow consistently and once you start mowing you’ll see any problems which have developed over the winter. Often this will be bare patches which can be mended through an application of grass seed. The trouble with seed is that it may be difficult getting it to germinate. A way to speed up the process is to add seed to damp compost in a tray or bucket, cover with clingfilm and keep somewhere warm. It will probably start to develop little roots in a few days and you can sow it into the patch, having raked over the surface, added a bit of crumbly soil and covered with soil or more unseeded compost to deter the birds. 06/11/2018 18:16

Cooper’s Corner Follow Barry on Twitter @bazdjcooper Football writer at Trinity Mirror

The high hopes of some Nottingham Forest fans at the start of this season may have been somewhat let down. However, are there signs that the club may be building on firmer foundations… here’s our Barry with his thoughts. The City Ground expansion plans announced earlier this month by Nottingham Forest, shows the vision Evangelos Marinakis has for the football club and it’s no surprise fans are rather excited. Forest’s stadium, one of football’s most iconic venues, has been largely untouched for 20 years since the Trent End was built for Euro 96 – and in truth, it shows. During that time, the City Ground has been left behind by the likes of Derby County and Leicester City with the club consistently missing out on valuable funds spent by corporate and hospitality clients, owing to their rivals more modern facilities. If Forest are to move forward as a club on and off the pitch, then having a genuinely world-class stadium is paramount and the regeneration of the Trentside area is key to that plan. The plans, which would see a brandnew Peter Taylor Stand, and work done to improve the Bridgford, Trent End and Brian Clough Stands increasing the capacity to 38,000, along with a museum and various

other additions, show that Forest are finally set to step into the new century. For two decades, the Reds have languished outside the top flight of English football and watched on as their rivals Derby have played in the top flight, and the Foxes winning the Premier League in 2016, but could the tide be turning? With record season ticket sales this season, coupled with an average attendance of more than 28,000 so far this, things are looking up for Forest and fans have reason to feel a little more optimistic about life by the Trent.

It’s highly unlikely they’ll secure a place in the end of season play-offs owing to their frustratingly inconsistent form, but progress has and is being made and fans shouldn’t lose sight of that, in a world which is becoming increasingly impatient. Given their performances in recent seasons, to have a glimmer of a play-off spot going into the final ten games is a marked improvement, and with the level of support following Forest, fans should be enthused about the future of their club.
